The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. Bromen was born on 26 August 1915 in Dülmen, Westphalia . In the autumn of 1941 after flight training he was posted to II./StG. 2 "Immelmann". He flew his 500th mission in December 1942, and after his 600th was awarded the Knight's Cross in April 1943. During his career he flew 965 missions and was also credited with the destruction of 76 tanks, 4 armoured trains, 12 supply trains and 7 aerial victories.

During the same attack, Knight's Cross recipients Andreas Kuffner and Rainer Nossek were killed.
